TRAVEL AND LEISURE 🎤
What an honor to speak at @travelandleisure World’s Best Summit. It is one of the best conferences I’ve ever been to! The panels across two days were educational, funny and hopeful.
I met so many amazing people and got to share my story and philosophy on travel and the power of being uncomfortable. There was a brilliant article they just published online about my panel if you’re looking for more deets!
I also got hear the incredible @iamreginaking speak and taste her yummy orange wine @mianuwines made in her son’s essence.
Thanks to @jacquigiff and the entire team for having me and for throwing such an incredible event.

NOTE TO SELF…
You can have ANYTHING you want!
A big goal for this year was to show my photography, fast forward and @mashondatifrere asked me to be part of a group show at @christiesinc in London!
I’m humbled by the opportunity and the response to the work.
I had four pieces in the show and from each of them, I extracted an element from the picture to bring the viewer into the moment.
1. Balancing Act, South Sudan
2. Beauté sans effort, Central African Republic
3. Queen of the Nile, South Sudan
4. Les dames de la marché, Sénégal
If you are interested in acquiring one of the pieces, please reach out to @mashondatifrere.
Which is your favorite piece?!

This is my second time traveling with National Geographic - Lindblad Expeditions and let me tell you, it is just as good as you would imagine it to be!
I travel a lot and I am not easily impressed. I’m used to planning my own trips and doing my own thing when I get there. This is not that!
Being able to leave the planning to someone else took a huge load off my shoulders, but even better is having the naturalists with us during the whole trip because they know almost everything. Trust me, I asked very outlandish questions and they almost always knew the answer, and when they didn’t, they researched and followed up with me when we were back on the ship.
Whether on land or underwater, the naturalists, who were all from Ecuador, enhanced the entire experience by teaching me about the world around me!

AFRICA WELCOMES, DAKAR CELEBRATES
For the first time in history, the Olympic Games are being played on African soil. Senegal played host and put on a beautiful opening ceremony and of course, I had to rep for Uganda 🇺🇬 😝
My favorite part was watching the parade of flags because it still blows my mind that I’ve been to every country in the world. 🥹 I also realized, I need to study my flags. 🤭
Thank you to @gallosn and @audreysolvar for the invitation!
Now someone get me to the LA @olympics 2028! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🫶🏿

Have you ever had a caipirinha?
I love this drink, which is the national drink of Brazil because it is super simple and requires a few pantry items.
1.5 ounces of Cachaça
2 limes
1 - 2 tablespoons of sugar
What’s your favorite cocktail?

comment “rank” to get a link to preorder my book!
I have eaten in all of the world’s 195 countries and I have been to 64 of them more than once, so I know the food first hand, so much so that I made a cookbook with one dish from every country in the world being published by @natgeobooks!
Now, what do you agree with and what did I get wrong???

On one of my latest adventures I partnered with National Geographic - Lindblad Expeditions to explore the Galapagos Islands for the first time. This was my second trip with them and it was just as amazing as the first to Antarctica. I love that @natgeoexpeditions can take me, someone who has been to every country in the world, to new destinations and help me explore them deeply.
The absolute highlight of the trip was the wildlife! We saw a baby sea lion being born, piles of iguanas, a pod of dolphins, blue-footed boobies and of course the majestic tortoises. Little Jessica was having a field day!
Have you been to the Galapagos Islands? Is it on your bucket list?
